I'm going to try it again. Here are some pics of a scratchbuilt MAUS........I hope

They are there!! A really nice job, Steve!!! Any plans to release this from the Faxon Factory??? It sure would be nice to have one.....I will be first on the list if you do decide to make them!!!

they have one available. I started this model over 15 years ago and at the time had never heard of them. I was a bit over my head skill level wise at the time I started but it has been a good experience all in all. I'm glad to be so far along now, and looking to paint it this coming weekend if all turns out well. The mantlet and large gun tube are actually from the GASO.LINE kit and Olivier was kind enough to sell me these 2 parts a couple years back. Unfortunately my turret face has a slightly sharper contour so I had to ad a bit of epoxy to his part and then file and sand it to fit my turret, still a huge savings in time though. I still cant get over how big this thing is. The smaller barrel mounted on the mantlet is a 75mm gun I scavanged from a Hobby Boss M4 Sherman.

I am in awe of that one Steve - can't wait to see your finished product. The back story about how you kept this project alive all those years is cool too. I have a Haseqawa Typhoon that has been in process almost as long - but frist I have to finish that Fighting 48th M4A4
